Article 3 \u2013 Grape production area<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The production area for the \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is the area defined by the Interministerial Decree of 31 July 1932, confirmed by Article 5 of Presidential Decree No. 930 of 12 July 1963, Article 3 of Presidential Decree of 9 August 1967, Article 3 of Presidential Decree of 2 July 1984 and Article 5 of Law No. 164 of 10 February 1992, Article 6 of Legislative Decree No. 61 of 8 April 2010, No. 61 and Article 3 of the production regulations annexed to the Ministerial Decree of 5 August 1996, regulated autonomously pursuant to the aforementioned Article 5 of Law No. 164 of 10 February 1992 and Article 6 of Legislative Decree No. 61 of 8 April 2010. This area is delimited as follows: beginning with the description of the boundary of the part of this area belonging to the province of Siena, the starting point is taken as the point where the boundary between the two provinces of Siena and Arezzo is crossed by the Borro Ambrella della Vena near Pancole in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga. From this point, the boundary follows the Ambra stream and an unnamed tributary thereof as far as the Ciarpella farmstead, then the mule track leading to the Casa al Frate farmstead. From here, it follows a virtual line to the Ombrone (elevation 298). From there, following a mule track, it reaches an elevation of 257 metres, where it meets a cart track that leads onto the road to Castelnuovo Berardenga. It follows this road up to an elevation of 354 metres. From here, it follows the Malena Morta ditch to its confluence with the Borro Spugnaccio; then continues along the Malena Morta ditch to Pialli (elevation 227 metres). It then follows the Malena Viva ditch for a short stretch, before turning along a virtual line passing through S. Lucia (elevation 252 and 265) towards the Arbia. Upon reaching this stream, it follows it upstream along the administrative boundary between the municipalities of Siena and Castelnuovo Berardenga. From here, the boundary of the area continues to coincide with the administrative boundaries of Siena, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Castellina, Monteriggioni and Poggibonsi, until it meets, at the Borro di Granaio, the boundary of the province of Florence, which it follows as far as the Le Valli farmstead. It then follows the municipal road, passing through S. Giorgio and the springs of Cinciano, and continuing until it meets the provincial boundary once more, which is also the boundary between the municipalities of Poggibonsi and Barberino, then the Drove stream, entering the province of Florence. At this point, the description of the boundary of the part of this area belonging to the province of Florence begins. For its first section, this boundary follows the Drove stream to the Mulino della Chiara, where it meets the administrative boundary between the municipalities of Tavarnelle and Barberino, which it follows for a short stretch, before turning slightly eastwards along another small stream, passing through C\u00e0 Biricucci and Belvedere until it meets, shortly afterwards, the S. Donato-Tavernelle road, which it follows as far as Morocco; and then, via a virtual line passing through Figlinella, reaches Sambuca, where it meets the Pesa stream. Continuing to follow the course of the stream, it coincides for an initial stretch with the administrative boundary between the municipalities of S. Casciano Val di Pesa and Tavarnelle, before rejoining the stream after Ponte Rotto. From this point, the boundary of the area coincides with the administrative boundaries of the municipalities of San Casciano and Greve. Here we re-enter the province of Siena, and the boundary of the Chianti Classico area coincides with the administrative boundaries of the municipalities of Radda in Chianti and Gaiole, and for a short stretch with that of Castelnuovo Berardenga, until we reach the starting point of the description of this area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Article 4 \u2013 Regulations governing viticulture<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  1. The environmental and growing conditions of the vineyards used for the production of \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine must be those traditionally found in the area and, in any case, must be such as to confer the specific quality characteristics on the grapes, the must and the resulting wine.<\/li>
  2. Planting distances, training systems and pruning methods must be such that they do not alter the distinctive characteristics of the grapes and the wine. In particular, any form of horizontal trellis training, such as the \u2018tendone\u2019 system, is prohibited. Any form of forced ripening is prohibited. However, emergency irrigation is permitted. <\/li>
  3. Consequently, for the purposes of registration in the vineyard register for the \u201cChianti Classico\u201d designation, only vineyards situated on hillsides with a suitable aspect are eligible; these must be located at an altitude not exceeding 700 metres above sea level and consist predominantly of sandy, marly limestone, clayey schist, sand and gravel.<\/li>
  4. Vineyards situated on damp land, in valley bottoms, and on land dominated by Pliocene clay or otherwise heavily clayey, are to be considered unsuitable and may not be registered in the vineyard register for the \u201cChianti Classico\u201d designation, even if they fall within the defined area.<\/li>
  5. Within the production area referred to in Article 3, no vineyards may be planted or registered in the vineyard register for the \u201cChianti\u201d DOCG designation, nor may \u201cChianti\u201d DOCG or \u201cChianti\u201d Superiore DOCG wines be produced. <\/li>
  6. At the time of planting, the minimum density of vines per hectare must be 4,400 vines.<\/li>
  7. The maximum permitted grape yield per hectare is 7.5 tonnes, and the average yield per vine must not exceed 2 kg.<\/li>
  8. Notwithstanding the provisions set out in points 6 and 7, the previous regulations shall apply to installations constructed prior to the entry into force of these specifications.<\/li>
  9. In favourable vintages, the quantities of grapes harvested and intended for the production of wines bearing the \u2018Chianti Classico\u2019 Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) must fall within the limits set out above, provided that total production does not exceed those limits by more than 20%, without prejudice to the grape-to-wine yield limits applicable to the quantities in question.<\/li>
  10. The maximum yield of grapes in the finished wine must not exceed 70%. If this yield exceeds the above percentage, but does not exceed 75%, the excess shall not be entitled to the Protected Designation of Origin; if this percentage limit is exceeded, the entire product shall lose its entitlement to the Protected Designation of Origin. <\/li>
  11. Grapes intended for winemaking must be sorted beforehand, if necessary, to ensure that the wine intended to become \u201cChianti Classico\u201d has a minimum natural alcohol content by volume of 11.50% vol.<\/li>
  12. The processing of grapes into must from any complementary varieties referred to in Article 2, and the subsequent vinification, may take place, in whole or in part, separately, provided that the blending of the wines thus obtained with the wine derived from Sangiovese grapes is carried out prior to the application for certification of the relevant batch as required by current legislation and\/or prior to any marketing as referred to in the following point. <\/li>
  13. Batches of \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine may only be marketed if they are accompanied by the relevant certificate of conformity issued by the competent control body. Those wishing to market batches of new wine still in fermentation, intended for the Chianti Classico DOCG, within the production area must notify the designated control body at least two working days prior to the transfer. In the case of blending of already certified batches, a new certificate of analytical and organoleptic suitability must be requested for the blended batch. <\/li>
  14. \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wines bearing the designation \u201cGran Selezione\u201d must be produced exclusively from grapes grown in vineyards managed by the bottling company, even if bottled by a third party on its behalf; should such grapes be supplied to cooperative societies, they must be vinified separately and the wines produced from them must be bottled separately.<\/li>
  15. Vineyards may only be used for the production of \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine from the third year after planting. However, in that third year, the maximum permitted grape yield is reduced to 40%, and therefore from 7.5 to 3 tonnes per hectare.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Article 5 \u2013 Rules for winemaking<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    1. The processes of winemaking, storage and ageing must be carried out within the production area defined in Article 3 above.<\/li>
    2. However, subject to authorisation from the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, following a preliminary assessment by the Region of Tuscany and a favourable opinion from the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium, such cellars are permitted in locations situated outside the aforementioned territory, but no more than ten kilometres as the crow flies from the border, provided that such wineries existed prior to 1 January 2008 and belong to estates which, individually or collectively, vinify grapes suitable for the production of \u201cChianti Classico\u201d obtained from their own vineyards or those under their management.<\/li>
    3. Authorisations issued to date remain valid.<\/li>
    4. Bottling and bottle ageing must take place within the production area defined in Article 3 above.<\/li>
    5. In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 607\/2009, bottling or packaging must take place within the aforementioned defined geographical area in order to safeguard the quality and reputation of Chianti Classico DOCG wine, guarantee its origin and ensure the effectiveness of the relevant controls. <\/li>
    6. However, wineries holding authorisation to produce wine outside the designated area in accordance with paragraph 2 of this article may also carry out, at the same premises, the bottling and\/or bottle ageing of wine produced from grapes suitable for \u201cChianti Classico\u201d, obtained from their own vineyards or from vineyards managed individually or collectively.<\/li>
    7. All bottling licences issued to date remain valid.<\/li>
    8. Furthermore, in the event of specific circumstances and, in any case, for a transitional period not exceeding three years, bottling and\/or bottle ageing operations may be permitted, subject to the favourable opinion of the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium and authorisation from the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, for wineries located in the provinces of Florence and Siena and in neighbouring provinces within the Region of Tuscany, under the following conditions:
      • the wineries must belong to estates that have been bottling \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine in the production area for at least 10 years.<\/li>
      • provided that such operations relate to wine that has already been certified as Chianti Classico DOCG and are carried out within the period of validity of that certification.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
      • Only local, fair and consistent winemaking practices permitted under current legislation are allowed.<\/li>
      • Enrichment is permitted under the conditions laid down by Community and national legislation, subject to the maximum wine yield per hectare and compliance with the minimum natural alcohol content of the grapes referred to in Article 4. Any enrichment must be carried out using either concentrated must produced from grapes originating in the \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine production area, or rectified concentrated must or grape sugar.<\/li>
      • For musts and wines intended for Chianti Classico \u201cGran Selezione\u201d, enrichment through the addition of external products is not permitted; in any case, the increase in natural alcohol content by volume must not exceed 1% vol.<\/li>
      • \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine may only be released for sale from 1 October of the year following the harvest.<\/li>
      • \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine designated as \u201cRiserva\u201d may only be released for consumption after having been aged for at least 24 months, including at least 3 months of bottle ageing.<\/li>
      • \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine designated as \u201cGran Selezione\u201d may only be released for sale after having been aged for at least 30 months, including at least 3 months of bottle ageing.<\/li>
      • The ageing period for \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine designated as \u201cRiserva\u201d and for \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine designated as \u201cGran Selezione\u201d may also take place outside the wine-producing area, provided that the bottles have already been fitted with a label and a band replacing the State Seal following certification of the relevant batch.<\/li>
      • The ageing period is calculated from 1 January of the year following the harvest.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        The \u201cChianti Classico\u201d Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is exclusively and mandatorily identified by the \u201cGallo Nero\u201d logo, in the graphic and textual form attached to these regulations (Annex 2), which must always appear alongside the name \u201cChianti Classico\u201d.<\/p>

        Within 12 months of the provisional authorisation referred to in Article 13 of the Ministerial Decree of 7 November 2012, all bottlers are required to affix the \u201cGallo Nero\u201d mark to the bottle. This mark is distributed by the Chianti Classico Wine Protection Consortium or printed on the label by the producers concerned and must be used and affixed to the bottles in accordance with the procedures established by the aforementioned Consortium through specific regulations. The provisions of these consortium regulations also apply to non-members of the Consortium pursuant to Article 17, paragraph 7, of Legislative Decree No. 61 of 8 April 2010. <\/p>

        In the designation of Chianti Classico wine, the term \u2018vigna\u2019 may be used provided that it is followed by the relevant place name or traditional name, that the wine is vinified and stored in separate containers, and that this term, followed by the relevant place name or traditional name, is recorded both in the declaration of grapes and in the registers and accompanying documents, and that it appears in the relevant regional list pursuant to Article 6(8) of Legislative Decree No. 61\/2010. The use of references to names, company names, or individual or collective trade marks is permitted, provided that such references do not imply any endorsement and are not likely to mislead the purchaser as to the origin and nature of the product, in accordance with the relevant regulations in force.<\/p>

        The use of references to the areas from which the grapes used to produce the wine actually originate is also permitted, provided that such references \u2013 other than the names of the vineyards \u2013 have been recognised in accordance with the procedure laid down in the relevant legislation.<\/p>

        Bottles or other containers holding \u201cChianti Classico\u201d wine intended for sale must always bear the vintage year of the grapes.<\/p>

        No description other than those specified in these specifications may be included on the label, including the adjectives \u2018extra\u2019, \u2018fine\u2019, \u2018chosen\u2019, \u2018selected\u2019, \u2018superior\u2019, \u2018aged\u2019 and similar terms, with the exception of those specified in these specifications.<\/p>

        The term \u201cClassico\u201d on the labels of wines that meet the requirements set out in these specifications must always follow the word \u201cChianti\u201d and be printed in the same typeface as that used for the latter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Other traditional bottle shapes befitting a fine wine are also permitted, subject to specific authorisation granted by the Protection Consortium to the companies making the request.<\/p>

        The use of the Tuscan flask is not permitted for the packaging of \u201cChianti Classico\u201d Riserva and \u201cChianti Classico\u201d Gran Selezione wines.<\/p>
